Good luck with your new project. To be honest, the first layout was a success because it gave you some practice for the 'real thing'
Will you be going around the edge of the loft now to maximise the run?
If so, good call. I did that with my old loft layout. Means you can get away with nice long, thin boards that make modelling all the more manageable!
You can also get away with larger curves. Beleive me, it's worth the larger curves when you are using long wheel-base stock like an HST. Are youing to use flexi-track? I'd suggest you do if you hadn't decided to already because i) it will make the job a whole lot quicker ii) It will be a fair bit cheaper too. iii) Plus, you can profile your own curves on the main line
Cheers
